What a lovely park to adventure within! The family came here with friends to have a picnic and it was a perfect day to do so. The park stretches out far enough that even with other large groups around it had felt as though we all had enough room to not touch or bother other visiting families. The observatory is closed unless your there for a night watch of the first full moon of every month from what I saw posted on the door. Needless to say I'll be packing up the family for another adventure to the park in hopes of seeing the observatory telescope for a stary night experience.

We had done a little photoshoot here— gosh this was a beautiful park! Lots of trees, park for activities, playground, walking path vs gravel path giving space passing other dogs. Very friendly neighborhood!
